Abstract
Abstract This chapter reconstructs the culture of Europe’s Russian colonies in their golden age between the 1870s and 1890s. It argues that the everyday practices of émigré communities gave rise to new and concrete forms of lived utopia. The colonies became sites of intense revolutionary, feminist, and nationalist agitation. Even more significant for their utopian potential, residents’ lifestyles embodied the change that they wanted to see in the world. This chapter explores how the new solidarities and practices that formed in the colonies gave rise to novel forms of politics. It also analyzes how the emergence of émigré utopian politics challenged existing social and geopolitical borders.
